💅 iucv_path_quiesce(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶

okay so picture this: you're deep in kernel land, the docs are dry as toast, and then this page shows up like a main character. welcome. this is iucv_path_quiesce, straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about to make a lot more sense than it did five seconds ago. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

iucv_path_quiesce — temporarily suspend incoming messages

like, pause them. not cancel, not delete, just gentle "hold that thought" energy. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int iucv_path_quiesce (struct iucv_path *path , u8 *userdata );

she's an int returning queen, she takes two args, and yes you have to give her both of them. no shortcuts. 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • path — the address of the iucv_path structure. that's the actual path you're messing with. know where it lives before you touch it, fr fr.
  • userdata — 16 bytes of data that get reflected to the communication partner 👀. literally sixteen. exactly sixteen. that's your little message-in-a-bottle back to whoever's on the other end.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does she do? iucv_path_quiesce temporarily suspends incoming messages on an IUCV path. that's the whole vibe check: messages stop coming in, but nothing's gone forever, nothing's severed, it's just on pause. 🧚

and the best part? it's reversible. you can later reactivate the path by invoking the iucv_resume function. so it's giving "brb" not "goodbye". iconic behavior honestly. 💖

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it returns the result from the CP IUCV call. that's it, that's the return value — whatever CP IUCV hands back is what you get. ngl, you should probably check it. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

buckle up bestie, this list is LONG and honestly? every one of these ate. 👑

kernel file ./net/iucv/iucv.c, plus:

the way this cross-reference list goes on for a full screen and a half?? obsessed. 🍓

💀 friendly reminder: the pause only works because iucv_resume exists on the other side. don't quiesce a path and then just forget about it — that's giving abandoned group chat energy and nobody likes that. 🙈

okay that's the page!! sourced from ./net/iucv, dated October 2026, and presented to you with love. go forth and suspend those incoming messages, bestie. mwah. 💜🎀🦋
